Wow! What’s not to like about this clever plot line
If you’re looking for a story with sizzling chemistry, great acting, surprising redemption arcs and a very clever plot line then this could be one for you.
The opening scene shows a stunt man, Joe as he plummets into a ravine during a motorbike stunt gone. The next scene shows him waking up in hospital next to a woman who claims to be his mother who’s calling out his name. The following few chapters, mainly through a series of flash backs and snippets from the present day, explain the events that led to the opening scene as well as Joe dealing with this new version of himself two years later. We are introduced to Ming, his wealthy boyfriend, Tong, Ming’s morally bankrupt brother in law, Wut, Joe’s father figure and agency owner and Sol, a young man from the same agency.
It’s obvious from the get go that things between Joe and Ming are not what they initially seem to be. Ming turns into an *sshole of epic proportions and Joe is caught up in a battle he clearly cannot win and which ultimately leads to his death. Fast forward to 2 years after the accident and it’s clear that Joe’s death has had a profound effect on those closest to him but will Ming pull him in again and will history repeat itself?
I loved Joe2’s mum. An absolutely gorgeous woman with a heart big enough to melt an iceberg. Strangely though the actor’s not in the cast list on this platform but I would love to see what else she’s been in.
I’ve barely seen such a clever plot line so kudos to the writers. The production values are great with the exception of the inside of Ming’s family home which is highly conservative with an almost black, panelled interior and at total odds with the ultra modern, glass walled exterior (which appears in Love in the Sky as well as several others).
Would I watch this again? You betcha I would!
